Summmer '18

Pera Learning Workshop Exhibition

August 15 - September 30, 2018

Pera Museum’s Summmer '18 exhibition highlighted the creative world of children participating in this year’s summer workshops inspired by Istanbul’s Seaside Leisure and Shaken Image exhibitions. The outcomes from all workshops was presented as a digital exhibition and a selected wide range was also on view in the workshop gallery space.

In these workshops, children discovered arts and crafts with the inspiration drawn from Pera Museum’s temporary exhibitions. Take a look at this year’s workshops.

The exhibition “Look At Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection” examined portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Paintings, photographs, sculptures and videos shaped a labyrinth of gazes that invite spectators to reflect themselves in the social mirror of portraits.

The First Nudes

The First Nudes

Men were the first nudes in Turkish painting. The majority of these paintings were academic studies executed in oil paint; they were part of the education of artists that had finally attained the opportunity to work from the live model. The gender of the models constituted an obstacle in the way of characterizing these paintings as ‘nudes’.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Pera Museum invites artist Benoît Hamet to reinterpret key pieces from its collections, casting a humourous eye over ‘historical’ events, both imagined and factual.
